Porsche Canada realigns pricing of its plug-in premium sports sedan

2016 Panamera S E-Hybrid now starts at $106,600 

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Porsche Canada announced today that it had lowered the starting price of the Panamera S E-Hybrid for 2016 model year, effective immediately. The first plug-in hybrid vehicle in the luxury segment will now be offered starting at $106,600 – a reduction of $3,400 compared to the 2015 model year.

This adjustment effectively brings the price in alignment with that of the Panamera S. Now, the Panamera S E-Hybrid represents an even more compelling choice in the segment, offering  such quintessential Porsche traits as style, performance, quality, and impressive efficiency of its advanced powertrain.

The hybrid tradition at Porsche extends back to the year 1899 and to the Lohner Porsche – the world's first vehicle to have a battery-powered electric drive as well as a combustion engine, which was designed and built by Ferdinand Porsche. The Panamera S E-Hybrid set standards worldwide as the first plug-in vehicle of the premium class. The 2016 Cayenne S E-Hybrid follows, transferring forward-looking technology to the premium SUV segment. Extraordinarily powerful hybrid technology was also featured in the 918 Spyder super sports car. This car serves as an example of technology transfer from motorsport to production cars: the most advanced form of hybrid drive technology is currently implemented in the 919 Hybrid race car, winner of the Manufacturer's title in the 2015 World Endurance Championship.
